GE13 Disgustation @ Bistro a Table

No recount necessary: Bistro a Table should secure a landslide victory & be elected into the Parliament of Palate-Pleasuring, thanks to its latest degustation dinner that skewers the many mishaps of Malaysia's 2013 national polls.

This "Disgustation" menu, an outrageously imaginative, one-of-a-kind melding of French & Malaysian elements, is being offered twice: on June 3 & once more next month on July 1. Fittingly, customers may choose to wear black to this culinary cri de couer.

Edible Delible Ink: Squid ink pasta, a la 'mee goreng,' with bottarga & sea urchin cream. Chef Isadora Chai might charge us with sedition if we attempted to (falsely) accuse this of being less than utterly slurp-worthy.

Blackout! The restaurant is plunged into unexpected darkness midway through our meal, sparking suspicions of severe irregularities in the kitchen.

When the lights return, these parcels have suddenly surfaced on our tables, bearing a bonus: Tandoori frog legs with parsnip chips. Every election might be plagued by frogs, but few ever turn out to be as welcome & wonderful as Bistro a Table's.

Janji Di Chapati & Ini Kari Lah: Toasted chapati with goat's cheese & pasilla pepper, to be dunked into mussels in curried cream. Customers should campaign for this addictive concoction to be placed on the restaurant's long-term menu.

Missyblurkit: heh, ya, too bad these degustation menus at bistro a table only happen once or twice before they're replaced by other menus. hopefully the next degustation menu in august or september will also be fun :D
